@gameism @cwood A rocket moving at the speed of light would need to check billions more physics bounds per tick, compared to sitting still.

@gameism @cwood The granularity of the simulation should increase with the number of observers/players. Perhaps time works the same way?

@gameism @cwood Time is allocated to each zone (or grouping of observers) independent of each other, allowing for relativity / time warping?

@gameism @cwood But my intuition is that faster moving objects would need more ticks than slower, so time should pass more quickly at C?

@gameism @cwood Then again, all those calculations would take longer, so instead of dropping frames the sim is paused, slowing down time?

@gameism @cwood An astronaut returns from space with less time passing because it took "longer" for the sim to tick per perceived moment.

@gameism @cwood The astronaut experienced fewer total frames than those on earth, so she has aged less than those that had higher framerate.
